"Other than these things, the car is phenomenal thus far"

Daniel»TX»2017 BMW M3Purchased Sep 2016|Verified

So far, the only issues since delivery has been:
- Squeaking noises coming from the door's rubber seals that have been replaced, but the issue always comes back. Appears to be a well documented design flaw but no permanent fix.
- Screeching/grinding noises occur when debris get kicked up into the brake shields. Extremely loud, noticeable and annoying when driving. Always gets people to stop and stare at you while your car makes embarrassing sounds.
Other than these things, the car is phenomenal thus far.

Since owning the E92 M3, I've been a fan. Missed it after I sold it so I got a E90 M3. Then decided to add a F80 M3 to the fleet. The M division knows what they are doing in creating a purposeful track car, that can be driven to work the following day.

"Make backup sensors standard in your vehicles"

Robert»GA»2017 BMW M3|Purchased Sep 2016|Verified

Make sure you purchase an option package that includes a rear backup sensor; I didn't realize mine did not have that feature (even just an audible alarm) and am supremely disappointed not to have it. Make backup sensors standard in your vehicles.

The sole source of any negative responses in my survey is the lack of a backup sensor/warning system. I did not realize this vehicle did not have this feature when I ordered it, and I never pull forward into a parking space, so now I am stuck every single time I park having to strain my neck (and even get out of the car sometimes) to confirm clearances at the rear of my vehicle. Honestly, I'd rather have a simple audible backup sensor (like I did for the past 14 years in my 2002 M3) than the entire navigation system.

"5) Soft close doors"

Antonio»OR»2016 BMW M3|Purchased Oct 2015|Verified

1) 360 degree view of overhead camera on M3/M4. There are too many blind spots and a full 360 view camera like in the i8 would help when navigating through tight spaces/parking lots.
2) Allow the doors to be opened with one pull on the door hand instead of two.
3) Add xDrive to the M3/M4 chassis and dominate the motorsports arena. At the very least, xDrive should be an option. The traction and handling would be supreme and no other auto manufacturer would be able to compete.
4) Front lift system much like that featured on the Lamborghini Gallardo that would allow you to lift the nose/front ride height a little to accommodate for curbs, ramps, & entryways.
5) Soft close doors. Does this really need an explanation?

"Make the rearview camera standard or a standalone option like on a normal 3 series vehicle"

Mark»MI»2016 BMW M3|Purchased Oct 2015|Verified

It is a fantastic machine. Do not listen to people on the internet saying "BMW has lost its way". However, a car at this price should have the back up camera standard. Make the rearview camera standard or a standalone option like on a normal 3 series vehicle.

"It looks and drives amazing"

Harman»NY»2016 BMW M3|Purchased Apr 2016|Verified

The BMW M3 is an amazing car that has a great balance of performance and comfort. It looks and drives amazing!

The BMW M3 is probably one of the best, if not the best, four-door sedan with a great mix of performance and comfort. The car is efficient when driving normally and is a extremely fast car when I need it to be; I am in full control of what I want the car to do. The car also has many customization opportunity that further lets me be in more control of the car. The exterior design as well as the sporty interior design are a great combo and could not have been done any better. I highly recommend this car.
